BMR database is huge comparatively

[symsonu]

Hello,

I am facing space crunch in root filesystem.

and I can see that most of the space is used by BMR DB in data and staging folder.

/usr/openv/db/data
# ls -lh

How can I reduce these or take care of to release space?

This technote will help for bmr purging

[jim_dalton]

It doesnt fix my issue...the bmr is over 5Gb which is simply far too large for what it contains.

The script just says the db instance is clean and then exits.

Ive seen this before...theres another issue at play here Im sure.
